Vintage notes
Early budbreak and flowering in 2025 led into steady growth supported by abundant spring rain. Heatwaves at the end of June and around mid-August were followed by 95 mm of rain late in August, aiding vine recovery and balanced ripening. Harvest at Belguardo began in late August, with the Vermentino for this wine picked from 27 August.
Label / history
The first vintage was 2008.
